NBA basketball gambling has focused primarily on the Western Conference for many seasons. The majority of the best teams resided in the West, so it was home to much of the most exciting and entertaining basketball gambling. However, some moves in the offseason, particularly the restructuring of what is now a tremendous Celtics squad, has somewhat shifted the power balance to the Eastern Conference this year, which is an unexpected surprise for many NBA gambling veterans. Currently, the two best overall records in the league are held by the Celtics and the Pistons, so NBA basketball gambling fans must give more credit to the East than has been merited in many years.
